I'm wondering if it's possible to have a negative balance with Bitcoin. Can the value of Bitcoin go below zero or can I owe more Bitcoin than I actually have in my wallet?

One scenario where over-leveraging can cause losses is short selling. When an investor shorts a cryptocurrency, they are betting on its price to decrease.

Another scenario is buying on margin, where investors borrow funds to purchase more cryptocurrency than they can afford with their own capital.

Such losses are often caused by over-leveraging, which is a common practice in the cryptocurrency market.

Over-leveraging can lead to significant losses, especially when the market moves against the investor's position.
